QUALITY FIRST
QUALITY and SERVICE are very important to us. That's why we take measures that are unusual (in the fitness industry): We have set a limit on membership contracts for the studio in order to be able to guarantee you a relaxed workout without waiting times at the machines. For this reason, we have unfortunately already had to turn away prospective members and had to put them on a waiting list for a contract. But in contrast to many of our competitors, the satisfaction of our customers is our top priority. Thus, we ask for your understanding in such a case. If you have any requests or complaints, please contact us preferably in personal dialogue or via our form.

Heiligenkreuz Abbey is located in the municipality of Heiligenkreuz, only 15 kilometres west of Vienna, in the middle of the Vienna Woods. Heiligenkreuz is directly on the A21 motorway, the so-called "Alland Motorway", with a designated "Heiligenkreuz" exit.
Heiligenkreuz Abbey is a Cistercian abbey near Heiligenkreuz in the Vienna Woods. It has been in existence without interruption since its foundation in 1133, and is thus - after Rein Abbey - the world’s second oldest Cistercian monastery to have existed continuously since its foundation.
In the 12th century, the first Cistercians called the monastery "Paradisum", "paradise". Because, anyone who is in the monastery, lives in the proximity and presence of God, reads and meditates on the Word of God and lives in unity with his love.
The architecture of Heiligenkreuz Abbey reflects this basic idea. In the Romanesque-Gothic cloister, many hundreds of red marble columns, dating back to 1240, represent the trees of paradise, ending in the budding and tendrils of the capitals. The keystones of the mighty vaults symbolise the splendour of flowers in paradise. In the middle of the cloister is a lovingly tended garden.
Heiligenkreuz Abbey is worth a visit! You can experience this quiet "paradise" during a tour
Our fellow brothers and qualified guides not only present the monastery as an architectural and art historical jewel, they also want you to experience the mystic atmosphere of the place and want to tell you about the life of the monks in the past and present.

Until 1889, Schloss Mayerling was a hunting lodge in Mayerling near Alland in Lower Austria,
southwest of Vienna. Today it accommodates the Carmel St. Joseph of the Discalced
Carmelites.
The Mayerling cult is still alive today
On 30 January 1889, Crown Prince Rudolf, the son of Emperor Franz Josef I and his wife
Elisabeth ("Sisi"), died at the former hunting lodge of Mayerling. He had also killed his
mistress, the 16-year-old Baroness Mary of Vetsera, to be united with her in death.
Rudolf was buried in the Imperial Crypt, also known as Capuchin Crypt, in Vienna; Mary
Vetsera at the local cemetery of Heiligenkreuz (1 km away from the abbey).
Ever since, there has been an almost bizarre Mayerling "cult", as the mayerling.de
homepage shows. Apart from that: it's definitely worth a visit! Approx. 100,000 visitors come
to the speculative site of the tragedy every year.
The present Carmelite convent is even more alive
After the tragic death of his son, Crown Prince Rudolf, Emperor Franz Josef I had the Mayerling hunting lodge converted and founded a Carmel (a Carmelite nunnery), i.e. a strict convent for women, in 1891. The nuns also look after the memorial site. During a visit you can see, among other things, the grief-stricken emperor’s chalice of foundation and a photo documentation of Crown Prince Rudolf.
The Carmelite nuns of Mayerling live a secluded and humble life with much prayer and contemplation. They live, among other things, from the little income that they achieve from the guided tours of tourists. If you visit Mayerling, then support the nuns with your visit. Please respect the silence and sanctity of the Carmelite convent.

Melk Abbey, a Benedictine abbey, is located in Lower Austria near the town of Melk, on the right bank of the Danube. The present (baroque) building was constructed between 1702-1746 by Jakob Prandtauer. As a landmark of the Wachau region, it is part of the UNESCO World Heritage. The abbey has been described as the "most emblematic and dominant baroque building". It also accommodates the Stiftsgymnasium Melk grammar school, Austria’s oldest school still in existence. Abbot is Georg Wilfinger.
The country's spiritual and cultural centre for over 930 years, World Heritage Site 2008, voted together with the Wachau region as "Best Historic Destination of the World" by the National Geographic Traveller magazine.
Pyhra natural swimming pool
Unlike open-air pools, the water in our natural swimming pool is not disinfected with chemical additives. Our 3,300m³ of water are circulated through 2 glass bead filters and a large gravel filter without additives every 48 hours. Thus, the clean water flows back into the swimming area.
A beach volleyball court and a children's playground with a sand and water area provide mega fun in addition to the fun in and on the water. Thanks to an asphalted trail, the lake can also be circumnavigated on dry land.
BUFFET TERRAZZA
Enjoying breakfast by the lake or sipping a delicious cocktail in the evening, do I need a ticket for that too? No, simply ask at the counter for a gastro ticket and enjoy the ambience.

"Overgrown narrow passes, old vineyard plots and colourful, blossoming dry grasslands – insights into an old, almost forgotten cultural landscape await at the Kronberg. Views can be enjoyed on the mountain ranges and hidden away in the Haspelwald forest awaits the name-giving feature of the trail – the Grotto of Our Lady of the Woods."
Grotto Trail 8 Km
"The chequers tree can be found freestanding on meadow orchards in the region around Michelbach – the realm of the chequers tree. The tradition to look after the up to 200-year old trees and to make a wide range of delicacies from their fruits has now been revived. With its location at the edge of the Wiesenwienerwald, Böheimkirchen can be considered the gate to the realm of the chequers tree."
Angerhof Trail 12.5 Km
"You are accompanied by natural forests with black alder trees in small marshy brook valleys and by beech, oak and rare chequers trees in mountain and hilltop forests through the Schildberg Forest along the trail across three mountains - Schildberg, Kollersberg and Plattenberg. Blossoming dry grasslands and the Plattenberg vineyard, as last witness of the widespread wine-making culture in the Böheimkirchen region, await on the south-facing slopes."

The wild service tree grove in Stössing is something really special: around 25 wild service trees grow in a very small area. You reach the wild service tree grove via the forest educational trail of the “Landjugend” rural youth organisation around 2 km after you left the starting point.

Around 700 years ago, the mill used to clack at Kamp, the first settlement on Grafenegg soil. Three generations later, and a fortified court with an enclosing wall and moat had been built. The castle still bears the name of the noble family who took over the estate a few decades later. However, Ulrich von Grafeneck did not own the estate for long and it followed an eventful time of changing owners and accompanying conversions and extensions which today tell the castle’s history through the centuries.
Renovation of the badly damaged structure commenced after the castle was handed back by the Soviet administration. The renovated Grafenegg Castle has also been a cultural meeting place since 1971 – and the 21st century started with a further extension phase of the most important castle complex of Romantic Historicism in Austria.
The entire castle areal is accessible all year round. The areal can only be accessed with a valid ticket from 3 hours prior to the start of the concert during events at the Wolkenturm tower.
The castle itself with its staterooms, the chapel and the courtyard can be visited during the following hours:
From 14 April until 28 October from Wednesday to Sunday, 11 am – 5 pm.

The figurine is 11 cm high, made from limestone and depicts a corpulent, nude woman with a faceless head, a hairdo of parallel rows of curls, serrated bangles at the wrists and was originally covered in thick red paint.

After some setbacks, he finally found it in a beautiful piece of forest opposite the Schöpfl in spring 1981 – it was love at first sight. He designed the layout of the course that very evening. As the areal was very limited, there was only place for 9 holes. But: "Small is beautiful", and that has been the motto of the Wienerwald Golf Club since it was founded. And the motto applies to all areas, including the number of members.
